An optimal control problem for a host-vector Dengue transmission model is discussed here.
Methods: We reviewed the evidence for direct and indirect relationships between climate and dengue generated from laboratory studies, field studies, and statistical analyses of associations between vectors, dengue fever incidence, and climate conditions.
These findings highlight the need for additional studies of the vector-dengue dynamics in this region and local evaluations of the robustness of vector abundance measures in order to strengthen cost-effective entomological surveillance systems.
A. albopictus, although typically not an effective epidemic vector of dengue (9), is capable of transmitting dengue, and it is further spreading northward from countries bordering the Mediterranean.
The yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti is a major vector of dengue and hemorrhagic fevers, causing up to 100 million dengue infections every year.
The main vector of dengue in America is the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which is infected by dengue virus (DENV) through receptors of midgut epithelial cells.
Although the same mosquito is a potential vector of dengue, no autochthonous case has been reported as yet, despite annual reports of many imported dengue cases in Italy.
Ae. albopictus a peridomestic mosquito that is known to be the only vector of dengue in the Pearl River Delta area in Guangdong province [ 4, 5], displacing Ae. aegypti, the fully domestic dengue vector [ 6].
Urdaneta-Marquez, L. & Failloux, A. B. Population genetic structure of Aedes aegypti, the principal vector of dengue viruses.
In this review, we focus on the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the primary vector of dengue viruses.
"We must wage war against the Aedes aegypti, the vector of dengue, of chikungunya and of Zika," Rousseff said through her Twitter account, referring to two other viral diseases transmitted to humans by the bite of infected mosquitoes.
